Tiger Woods arrives in Cabo where PGA Tour will play on the first golf course he designed

On Tuesday, Woods was seen cruising around the venue in a golf cart.

Nearly nine years ago, Tiger Woods hit a ceremonial first tee shot to officially open El Cardonal at Diamante in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It was the first golf course he designed and now, it’s hosting the PGA Tour for the firs ttime.

The World Wide Technology is this week, the first in a five-deal deal to be played at Diamante. The WWT was previously staged at El Camaleon Golf Club near Cancun, Mexico but after 16 years with the PGA Tour, the course jumped ship for LIV Golf.

Woods and El Cardonal stepped in to take over and on Thursday, a field of 132 golfers will tackle the 7,452-yard, par-72 layout for the first time.

On Tuesday, Woods was seen cruising around the venue in a golf cart.

Woods built a fun short course at Diamante called The Oasis. He’s currently building a third layout there called The Legacy, and the expectation is that the Tour stop will shift to that course which is set to rival Shadow Creek in Las Vegas.

El Cardonal is named after the large desert tree, the cardon, that dots the landscape on the Baja California peninsula.

Justin Lower was among the Tour pros trying to work their way through a practice round at El Cardonal on Tuesday and apparently the Big Cat made him nervous.

The WWT starts Thursday. It’s the third-to-last event on the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Fall series.

Woods post a message on X on Wednesday, wishing all the players good luck on his course.

2023 World Wide Technology Championship odds and picks to win

Here are four picks for this week’s event south of the border.

After a week off, the PGA Tour is south of the border for the 2023 World Wide Technology Championship at the Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Diamante in Los Cabos, Mexico.

European Ryder Cupper Ludvig Aberg, who lost in a playoff at the Sanderson Farms Championship and tied for 13th at the Shriners Children’s Open in two starts during the FedEx Cup Fall, is the betting favorite at +900 (9/1). Cameron Young is next at +1100 (11/1), as he makes his first start since the BMW Championship. Fortinet Championship winner Sahith Theegala rounds out the top three in odds at +1600 (16/1).
